A Bank I Like -- SoFi
I switched banks in 2025 and never looked back -- dropping my longtime provider of 25 years. I recommend SoFi to anyone who asks, and here's why:
- High-yield savings. Don't let your cash sit idle. Your savings should be working for you, not collecting dust at 0.01%.
- No nonsense fees. I was getting hit with ridiculous $10 minimum balance fees on a vampire savings account at one of the biggest, most profitable institutions on earth. Nonsense.
- One-stop shop. Checking, savings, investing, credit cards, spending insights -- all in one place if you want it to be.
Switching banks feels like a big deal, but it's honestly not. I wish I'd done it sooner.
